Brock, fantastic job with the contest thanks.

GOOD LUCK ALL!

Really like those selections and with a few close to mine I hope you have a good day (not too good, mind :D )

I was at pains to leave Igugu out as a I have a feeling she could be a completely different horse today. The Duty Free was the most difficult race to handicap for me, I ended up going for a value selection (Mushreq) who may not be good enough but De Kock is extremely happy with him.

I'm kinda hoping Lines Of Battle, Sole Power and Reynaldothewizard all finish 2nd..........

Best of luck.

Will hope to have real time updates to contest for first few races but not for the last few as Ill be out and aboot...

Anyway, best of luck to all playing today - I just got a call from my friend who is in the Emirates box there right now, I have told him I will be there with him next year..

Mufarrh, Time Prisoner alt Master of Hounds
Ahzeemah, Tenenbaum alt Verema

more to follow..

9/4 winner Soft Falling Rain and three had it - jaripeo, ryonker1 and Arletta sneak up on the leaders - 7 within 1000 of the leader which is essentially an 8-1 winner..

Jesus!

The Bart takes command hitting 11/2 shot Cavalryman and backed it up with the exacta that paid 43.17.

my next tranche of bets

Lines of Battle, Secret Number alt Elleval
Sole Power, Shea Shea alt Mr Big
Private Zone, Balmont Mast alt Mental
Igugu, City Style alt Trade Storm

DJARUM jumps up into second hitting 15/2 Lines Of Battle along with myself, mclem0822 and jaripeo. Its a case of what might have been for me as I was seriously flirting with Elleval as my exacta choice but declined (that would have been a 191.7 exacta!!) and had I done that, I would be in the lead by 700!!!!!

Well that race shook up the standings - gamblin4ever with a brilliant Nap, DJARUM now taking the lead demoting The Bart who nearly bookended a great carnival with a 33-1 NAP who just failed.... No more updates until after the last as I have to head out..

Put a saver bet in on Balmont Mast, Win only of course. :rolleyes:

Nice! :)

FINAL SCORES -


It was a mental final day with plenty of lead changes and some big scores throughout. It looked like The Bart had sealed it with a good exacta in the Dubai Duty Free but 2010 champ ryonker1 came home late napping Sajjhaa and getting the top spot with Animal Kingdom. A well deserved winner and do PM me and I will make sure I send you out a prize..

This is my annual thanks to all those that have played and supported the competition this year and over the past 6 carnivals - it is, I think, the longest running competition on here so its good to keep going and hopefully you had a grand day today and a good carnival in total. There are some very good opinions amongst us and hopefully you have taken advantage. Please God, we'll all be here next year for Dubai Carnival VII :)

Congratulations Ron, great effort last night.

Many thanks to Brock, been a great contest as always, and yes please god we're all here to take part next year.

I had withdrawal symptoms watching on tv this year (finally got to bed around 5am) I think I'll have to go back to Dubai in 2014. Perhaps a forum get together should be organised?!

Thanks everyone! Let's do it again next year for sure!
